The Power of Walnuts
Walnuts have been recognized for their nutritious properties. Walnuts contain more polyphenols than any other type of nut. Polyphenols work as antioxidants in the body, meaning they can combat oxidative damage and offer protection against the development of certain cancers, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases.
